Mhandu yemhandu yangu, ishamwari yangu.
Mhandu yemhandu- shamwari yangu
(The enemy of my enemy is my friend)

That fake love, I don’t stand for.
I can see an enemy with eyes closed.
When you battle with depression
Death is never out the question.
Especially when you have to kill everything
Before everything kills you.
Self-medication never heals you.
Got you fighting with the real you.
Sahwira wangu, Ndini.
(I am my closest friend)
Muvengi wangu, Ndini
(I am my own enemy).
Ndenekaku kakatana kari mukati mangu ini.
(I have a tug of war happening within the depths of my being)
So is life, blurred lines between wrong and right. (yah)
Angels protect my heart. (yahh)
Demons consume my mind.


Mhandu yemhandu yangu, ishamwari yangu.
(The enemy of my enemy is my friend)
Mhandu yemhandu, yemhandu.. yemha-ndu.
(The enemy of my enemy of my enemy)
Mhandu yemhandu yangu, ishamwari yangu.
(The enemy of my enemy is my friend)
Mhandu yemhandu, yemhandu.. yemha-ndu.
(The enemy of my enemy of my enemy)
Mhandu, dzakawanda.
(Many enemies)
Mhandu, dzakawanda.
(Many enemies)
Mhandu, dzakawanda.
(Many enemies)
Mhandu, dzakawandaahh
(Many enemies)

Owner of a broken heart.
I use these broken shards.
Just to stretch the surface - of my pain’s purpose.
My sisters say I am worth it.
Most times, I feel so worthless.
The yin to my yang, make the circle fully perfect.
Got noises in my brain, I struggle much to silence voices.
I’m in a dark place (yah) Looking for God’s face (yah)
Feeling like Bellarmine, running away from my own grace.
Huya-huya-huya-huya mweya.
I’m fighting with myself, I need some answers.
Life is a metaphor of death, I’ll show you how it works
Blessing inside a curse. A suite inside the hearse.
Turn up session, cloud out my transgressions.


Mhandu yemhandu yangu, ishamwari yangu.
Mhandu yemhandu, yemhandu.. yemha-ndu.
Mhandu yemhandu yangu, ishamwari yangu.
Mhandu yemhandu, yemhandu.. yemha-ndu.
Mhandu, dzakawanda.
Mhandu, dzakawanda.
Mhandu, dzakawanda.
Mhandu, dzakawandaahh

I'm fighting with myself (throughout the third verse)

Is your path like a war path
Victim of your own Wrath
Back and forth with the replay.
Photographic with the flashbacks.
Instrumentals make it sound nice.
I've been fighting for my whole life.
Finessing with thoughts of death - think
It gets better but it gets worse. (YAH)
Baptism of fire... I'm only drowning.
Talking self-acceptance. I will not allow it.
Ain't no monsters chilling in my closet.
I am the biggest problem.
You can never solve it.
It’s in my double helix. It's in my hemoglobin.
I've been to Hell and back. To be heaven sent.
To be heaven sent to the lost souls that I represent. (yah-yah -yah)
I’ve been fighting for my whole life.
Voices say Shoca hold tight.
I’ve been fighting for my whole life.
Voices say Shoca hold tight.
I’ve been fighting for my whole life.
Dzimwe nguva ndinochema.
(Sometimes I cry)
I’ve been fighting for my whole life.
Can you tell me that it’s alright.
